* And Jehovah spoke to Moses , saying , * Speak unto the children of Israel , and say unto them , If a man or a woman have vowed the special vow of a Nazarite , to consecrate themselves to Jehovah ; * he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink : he shall drink no vinegar of wine , nor vinegar of strong drink , neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes , nor eat grapes , fresh or dried . * All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine , from the seed-stones , even to the skin . * All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his head ; until the days be fulfilled , that he hath consecrated himself to Jehovah , he shall be holy ; he shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow . * All the days that he hath consecrated himself to Jehovah , he shall come near no dead body . * He shall not make himself unclean for his father , or for his mother , for his brother , or for his sister when they die ; for the consecration of his God is upon his head . * All the days of his separation he is holy to Jehovah . * And if any one die unexpectedly by him suddenly , and he hath defiled the head of his consecration , then he shall shave his head on the day of his cleansing ; on the seventh day shall he shave it . * And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtle-doves , or two young pigeons , to the priest , at the entrance of the tent of meeting . * And the priest shall offer one for a sin-offering , and the other for a burnt-offering , and make an atonement for him , for that he sinned by the dead person ; and he shall hallow his head that same day . * And he shall [again ] consecrate to Jehovah the days of his separation , and shall bring a yearling lamb for a trespass-offering . But the first days are forfeited , for his consecration hath been defiled . * And this is the law of the Nazarite on the day when the days of his consecration are fulfilled : he shall be brought to the entrance of the tent of meeting . * And he shall present his offering to Jehovah , one yearling he-lamb without blemish for a burnt-offering , and one yearling ewe-lamb without blemish for a sin-offering , and one ram without blemish for a peace-offering ; * and a basket with unleavened bread , cakes of fine flour mingled with oil , and unleavened wafers anointed with oil , and their oblation , and their drink-offerings . * And the priest shall present them before Jehovah , and shall offer his sin-offering and his burnt-offering : * and he shall offer the ram , a sacrifice of peace-offering to Jehovah , with the basket of unleavened bread ; the priest shall offer also his oblation and his drink-offering . * And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his consecration at the entrance to the tent of meeting , and shall take the hair of the head of his consecration , and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of the peace-offering . * And the priest shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram , and one unleavened cake out of the basket , and one unleavened wafer , and shall put them upon the hands of the Nazarite , after he hath shaven [the hair of ] his consecration . * And the priest shall wave them as wave-offering before Jehovah ; it is holy for the priest , with the breast of the wave-offering and with the shoulder of the heave-offering ; and afterwards the Nazarite may drink wine . * This is the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed : his offering to Jehovah for his consecration , beside what his hand is able to get ; according to the vow which he vowed , so shall he do , according to the law of his consecration .
